From the world of Rylee Adamson and the Elemental Series comes a heroine with nothing to lose and everything to prove.... "My name is Pamela, and I am a witch who has no equal." Or so I thought. It has been three years since the Destroyer sundered our world. The land is no longer whole, but broken into pieces, most technology gone, and the continents shattered into an unrecognizable place. New monsters have risen from the depths, adding danger on top of danger. Through it all the humans fight to survive as they compete not only with the supernaturals for food and resources, but their own kind as well. And me? The caravans of humans I pass, they look to me to save them. Only I am not the witch I once was. Bound by those who fear my power and my bloodline, I''m lucky if I can light a match with my magic, never mind protect anyone but myself. Now, the darkness in me rises, offering me all that I want. Freedom from the chains I wear, and the power to make everything right. But if I embrace the darkness I will face a cost I could never have imagined...

My name is Pamela, and I am the strongest witch the world has ever seen. Only I’m not just a witch, I’m an elemental, and that truth makes me a target and a threat. The elementals of this world are done hiding in the shadows. And there is a faction of them who want to rule our world. They want to put the humans beneath their heels, and they want all the power to themselves. Standing between them and their goal are only two people, two that still hold a connection to Spirit, the key to stopping them. Myself, and my father. But the elementals we face are no fools. They’ve taken the most precious thing from us both. A child who could be everything they need to force all the elementals to bend a knee. A child whom I’ve always known was special. They’ve taken Frost. If I have to break the world again to find him, I will. Because I’m done hiding too. And the elementals had better be ready to play.

My mentor has forbidden me to leave the safety of the Stockyards. Her reasoning? That I am too weak to weather the coming storms. With my pride wounded in more ways than one, I must gather the few allies'' I have left. My ex-husband''s new girlfriend at the top of the list and a goat bleating Satyr. FML. If I''m lucky I''ll find a small dragon and a Jinn whose blue eyes still haunt my dreams along the way. Buckle up, buttercup, this ride is about to take a seriously unforeseen twist.

To save us all, I must figure out my connection to the Norse gods, and claim my place in this world. A journey like no other awaits, and I face it with my best friend at my side, and Havoc at my back. As my tale (tail) comes to an end I feel the threads of fate weaving a new path I can only reach by making an impossible choice. I must face not only the one who stands at the center of the darkness but Havoc as well. Will the ties between us be enough to stay his hand? ** The FINAL book in the Golden Wolf Series and the wild conclusion to Cin and Havoc''s story **

Successful Seattle baker Alena Budrene doesn''t want to die. But when she''s infected with a lethal virus spread by supernatural beings, her only chance for recovery is to make a deal with the devil--or in this case, a warlock. Though he saves her life, it looks nothing like the life she once knew--and neither does she. Alena is a new breed of "Supe" no one has ever seen before. Even the supernatural police don''t know what she is. Now exiled to the northern side of the Wall, which marks the divide between humans and Supes, Alena is thrust into a dark and magical new world. But just as she begins to adjust to all things supernatural, she realizes that her transformation is the least of her worries--and it was no accident. She was chosen...to be killed by a Greek hero trying to make a name for himself once more. Alena was brought up to be subservient, preferring creating to fighting, and vanilla and honey to blood. But that was then. Now, to survive, she must stand up for herself--and this time she''s got fangs. But will she be ready to use them?

But like all things in my life, nothing is going as planned. I''ve ended up with another Jinn to deal with, a five-year-old shifter who loves to call out my cursing, and a detour that takes me away from Maks.

A Teenage Girl Torn from her Family Must Survive a Series of Deadly Trials to Earn her Place in a Dangerous School of Magic, from Bestselling Authors K.F. Breene and Shannon Mayer You don''t choose The Academy. The Academy chooses you. I had no idea how those words would change my life, until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. My younger brother has been chosen for The Academy: the prestigious, secret school of magic hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place where there’s no guarantee you’ll make it out alive. If he doesn''t go, our entire family will be killed. It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago—and he never came home. The Academy has already killed one sibling, and I’ll be damned if they take another. So I do the only thing an older sister can: chop off my hair, strap on two bras to flatten the girls, and take my brother’s place. Magic and monsters are real. Assassins are coming for me, and the dead are prone to rise. What’s a girl faking it as a boy supposed to do? Being accepted into an elite school of magic, monsters, and assassins was not my idea of higher education. But here I am, fighting my way through the deadly physical and mental tests of the Culling Trials to claim my right to be taught. In a cutthroat world where no one is as they seem, the golden rule is simple: Trust no one. The Academy tells us we should just look out for ourselves. That we should leave the fallen behind and ask no questions. Not on my watch.

The Desert Cursed Series should be read by people who can root for an underdog, have a good sense of humor, a love for high-paced action, and a taste for a blend of magic that even a Muggle could love. With over half a million copies sold, when you indulge in the Desert Cursed series, you''re in good company. Witch''s Reign (Book 1) They think her an underdog against impossible odds... And she will fight tooth and nail to prove them wrong. The Witch''s Reign...a land of eternal, unnatural winter ruled by the Ice Witch. In turn, she is guarded by three supernatural creatures who wander her lands hunting for unwary souls, killing any who cross their paths. To get to the Witch''s Reign, you first must pass through the Dragon''s Ground. Full of dragons, who for the record, do not like trespassers. This is where I am headed, though my mentor has forbidden me. My best friend was sent with a team into the Witch''s Reign to recover a powerful jewel that belongs to our mentor, and they are long overdue to come back. That leaves me, Zamira "Reckless" Wilson to go after my friend. Forbidden or not. Somehow, I get saddled with a human male tagging along for the ride. A human that is as weak and useless as my own shifting abilities. Throw in a sentient magical weapon that tries to kill me every time I touch it, and a small dragon that has a penchant for Shakespearean insults, and you''ve got my journey in a nutshell. May the sands of the desert swallow me whole because this is going to be a damn bumpy ride. Dragon''s Ground (Book 2) Dragons and danger and magic collide... And it''s only Monday. We survived the land of the Witch''s Reign, that much is true. But our arrival home is far from welcome. My idiot brother has taken it upon himself to ride off in search of a mythical healer, someone who might help him walk again. Assuming she doesn''t eat him first. Because said healer is a dragon and happens to reside in the deepest reaches of the Dragon''s Ground. Like I said, idiot. I''d go after him myself, but his leave-taking is not the only problem I face. My mentor has yet again forbidden me to leave the safety of the Stockyards. Her reasoning? That I am too weak to weather the coming storms. With my pride wounded in more ways than one, I must gather the few allies'' I have left. My ex-husband''s new girlfriend at the top of the list and a goat bleating, oversexed Satyr. FML. If I''m lucky I''ll find a small dragon and a Jinn whose blue eyes still haunt my dreams along the way. Buckle up, buttercup, this ride is about to take a seriously unforeseen twist. Jinn''s Dominion (Book 3) There was nothing that could have prepared me for Dragon''s Ground. And I thought that nothing could be worse than what I faced there. Just my black cat bad luck, the world is set to prove me wrong. South lies the Jinn''s Dominion and within it the members of my Pride who need my help. The further south we go, the more danger comes not only from outside our group but from within. Ishtar''s new hunters. Marsum leader of the Jinn. And the Emperor himself. All three want something from me. All three claim they can give me the world on a silver platter, to give me my deepest desires. Color me cautious, but I think all three are lying. Or so it seems until I reach the Jinn''s Dominion and discover the truth... About who I really am. And what that means for my fate and the fate of those I love.

The last journey into the unknown for Zamira, Lila and Maks The Storm Queen has been defeated. And the first two challenges have been conquered. You''d think that it would be all downhill from here. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Well, if it was downhill at warp speed into more trouble, then you''d be absolutely correct. The demon city sits before us, and beyond that lies the castle of Asag, the beast from the east. He has our friends. He has our magic. He has the dragon hatchlings. What have we got? Unexpected allies, a twisted path that has our heads spinning, and as the truth comes clear, the realization that defeating a demon on his own turf . . .might not be possible. Does that stop us from trying? Not for a second. So here we go. Into the darkness, into the fog, and come what may we stand together to face it all down.

One last time, the Phoenix will rise, and her flames will savage all who stand between her and those she loves... The game is afoot, and I never saw it coming. A game of demons, angels and new breed of abnormal that is beyond anything else I''ve faced. A monstrosity that is bent on destroying every other abnormal on the planet. Only one thing can stop those who would wipe us out. A cursed weapon. Created by a person who has been dead a long time. With an impossible task at hand, I can no longer face the darkness on my own. Even for me, the Phoenix, I need people at my back and my side. The clock is ticking as my team and I race to find the curse, the weapon, and the final pieces that will save the world. And when the darkness rises to consume us, I will have to face my greatest fears. Will I survive my own flames, or will I burn the world and my own existence up to save those I love?

Rylee is filled with heart and action just as you expect from Ms. Mayer. My name is Rylee and I was a Tracker. The final battle is over and The Blood of the Lost was spilled. In the aftermath, the humans still have mysteries they call upon me for. Except I can no longer Track and my new abilities terrify me. A salvage is offered to me, and with it, a chance to redeem myself. A missing girl, her brother desperate to find her. Simple and straightforward, this salvage should be a piece of cake - and a chance to learn some discipline with my powers. Except the girl is somehow tied to the world of the Elementals, and with that comes a danger I could never have expected. As I search for her, I realize it is not only her life that is on the line, but my soul and sanity as well, as the voices and unnatural needs in me grow more demanding. If I am to save us both, I must face the darkness within; and this time, I must do it all by myself.

Surrounded by the most obstinate of madness, Mara will use the strength within herself to free both she and Sebastian once and for all.

The bonds of love and friendship will be stretched to their breaking point as the world around them spins out of control, and the dangers continue to mount. Can she carry them both through the obstacles ahead and find a way to heal Sebastian? Can she accomplish all of this in time?
